Book overview
She survived the forest. But the forest never really let her go.
Lucy Salisu has built the life she never thought she'd have: a loving husband, three beautiful children, a career helping others heal from trauma. But at thirty-one, the one wound she cannot heal is her own.
At sixteen, Lucy vanished during a school trip to Yankari Game Reserve. When she was found three days later, injured and traumatized, she had no memory of what happened. The official story-a lost hiker, an unfortunate accident-was accepted by everyone.
Everyone except Lucy.
Fifteen years later, haunted by fragments she can't explain-a cabin in the woods, whispered voices, a figure watching from the shadows-Lucy hires private investigator Bala Ronke to find the truth.
What he uncovers will shatter everything she thought she knew.
The kidnapping was not random. The cabin was not abandoned. And the whispers she heard were not in her head-they were in the walls.
Now Lucy must confront a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of power, a man who has been orchestrating her suffering for twenty years, and a truth so devastating it will burn her world to the ground.
"The truth will set you free, but first it will destroy everything you thought you knew."
